The cause of all this trouble had been clear for some, and this cause is again painfully revealed. Guitar Hero: Van Halen is one game that is typical for both good and bad sides of the series."

This time was no official successor to section five, but again a spin-off in the sense that we have seen earlier, ie: Aerosmith and Metallica. This time the band Van Halen in person completely dominated by Guitar Hero and we watched it once or the new section as well as part five, which last year as the last Guitar Hero on the market."

This game is gonna completely flop, and im happy about it. :D Though, im pretty sure they gave it away free when you bought Guitar Hero 5 or something, but you couldn't get it sent to Canada. I dont even remember, dont care that much either.
Most of the time, compared to the Xbox 360 or the PS3, Wii graphics on guitar hero games are really crappy. However, these are the best graphics I have ever seen on a Wii game. The one thing that I REALLY don't like is the guest songs that are'nt by Van Halen. I'm surprised they actually let Wolfgang Van Halen choose them. SERIOUSLY...

Thus we can enumerate exactly four known songs from Van Halen: Is not Talkin 'Bout Love, Jump, Eruption and Panama. Then there is the four band members, not to mention the four that the game gets assigned. Indeed, for the first time is the Guitar Hero series under the fallen enough."
